Watts 0792025 Breaker
The Watts 0792025, also identified as the 3/4" LF008PCQT, is a high-performance anti-siphon pressure vacuum breaker designed to prevent backsiphonage of contaminated water into the potable water supply. This lead-free unit features a unique PolyCoat corrosion-resistant coating on the internal casting, making it ideal for harsh water conditions or outdoor irrigation and industrial processing applications. Engineered for backflow prevention in high-hazard non-potable services, the LF008PCQT operates with a maximum working pressure of 150 psi. The compact design facilitates easy maintenance and winterization, utilizing a singular access cover for the internal components. As a veteran-grade potable water safety valve, it meets ASSE 1020 and CSA B64.1.2 standards, ensuring compliance with strict plumbing codes. Its ball valve shutoffs and test cocks allow for precise field testing and isolation, ensuring the sprinkler system backflow remains within operational parameters even under continuous pressure.
Key Benefits
- Lead-Free Construction: Complies with federal mandates for potable water contact, utilizing lead-free copper silicon alloy.
- PolyCoat Protection: Provides a durable internal barrier against aggressive water chemistry, extending the service life of the valve body.
- Simplified Maintenance: Features a top-entry design for rapid access to the check valve and air opening port without removing the unit from the line.
- Reliable Backsiphonage Protection: Specifically engineered to exhaust air into the system to break a vacuum, preventing contaminated fluids from entering the main supply.
Common Questions
What is the difference between an 800M4 and the LF008PCQT?
The LF008PCQT is specifically designed for high-hazard applications where backsiphonage is a risk under continuous pressure. The PC suffix denotes the internal PolyCoat coating, which offers superior resistance to mineral buildup and corrosion compared to standard bronze models.
Where should this pressure vacuum breaker be installed?
Standard plumbing code requires the Watts 0792025 to be installed at least 12 inches above the highest downstream point (such as an irrigation head or outlet) to ensure the gravity-operated air inlet functions correctly during a vacuum event.
How do I prepare the LF008PCQT for freezing temperatures?
Contractors should utilize the integrated test cocks and ball valves to drain the internal chamber. Because this unit is often applied in outdoor irrigation, ensuring the air inlet and check valve are dry is critical to preventing body fractures during winter cycles.
